[QUOTE]Whoa I just had a thought provoking thought (redundant I know).  Say a rapture by time zone is actually something that could occur someday with everyone's forewarning.  Theoretically wouldn't it then make it possible to avoid rapture by hopping a plane that flies around the earth through each time zone missing the appointed hour in each location until the end of the rapture occurred?  Or am I drinking the crazy koolaid again?

But you would eventually run out of time zones and just fly back into the Rapture. And then your plane would get caught up in all of the people floating up to the heavens. Jesus doesn't want to reassemble someone who was sucked into a jet engine.

It's 1pm on May 21 2011 here in NZ and nothing has happened. New Zealand is the first place to see a new day. Apia Samoa is 23 hours behind so the last to see a new day. Everyone at 11pm NZ time will be on the same day. So if it's by time zone it should have happened here already.

Not only does he not want to, he downright refuses. He'll reassemble the cremated believers, but only if the ashes are all in one place. (this is why cremation isn't encouraged in the Catholic faith. I'm not clear on how the other denominations deal with cremation. Their Jesus may be more patient with getting all your pieces back together).

It's hard to read so: Rapture Day Pranks on Saturday May 21, 2011. Take some of your unwanted clothes and shoes...and leave sets of them arranged on sidewalks and lawns around town.

ETA: Typos.

This would be a whole lot more fun if you guys would quit being logical buzzkills and just played along with it.

Doing it!

Yeah it's annoying that people call themselves Christians and explicitly ignore what the Bible says about the end of days.

I'm totally laying random sets of clothes in public places tomorrow.  Genius.

<div>I'm Baptist,we were always told that "the Dead of the Earth will rise". With can be interpreted to mean that if you are creamated, Jesus will not be putting you back together. </div><div>
</div><div>I really don't think it's going to happen by time zone, I don't think it can happen by time zone, TBH. It's supposed to be in the twinkling of an eye, and everyone in the following time zones would know what was happening when it happened to the first time zone.</div>

I love how logically this whole thing is being discussed. On that note. Timezones are definitely a man-madeup thing. I'm guessing God doesn't care about time zones (or time for that matter) and will do it whenever he wants.

Oh my gosh. When I got up this morning, my family was gone! I have no idea where they are. Oh my!!!  I think it's happened!!

Oh man, I hope I'm not giving off an "I actually believe this shiit vibe" in here. For the sake of clarity, I'm simply an intrigued atheist. Your post, FYI, has had me singing "our god is a punctual god" all day.

Adam was telling me that the guy whos predicting this, looks like the creepy ghost guy from poltergeist 2. Ever since he told me that, the creepy song he sings has been in my head all day

I definitely get the creeps when I look at that guy, and maybe this is why. 

I also like how logically this is being discussed, and how all these "details" seem to have been worked out by Camping.  I feel like if it's going to happen (whenever that may be), God's not really going to get caught up in all the technical details.  Not that I'm any kind of expert, but I would think if you're all knowing and all powerful, you can kind of just snap your fingers and things get done.

ps: WTF does "breaking the seals" mean? I imagine it to be a cross between peeing for the first time when drinking or opening up an SAT booklet for the first time. I don't see Jesus doing any of these things.

Though I did hear that he earned 521 AP credits in HS.

Oh, no! Don't worry. That's why I thought this whole conversation was so hilarious. Everyone obviously thinks it's nuts, but still giving logical reasons why it can't be possible. haha

I always imagined it to be like an epic advent calendar, but with plagues instead of chocolates.
